[984] Sampling

The cloudy sun, which was gradually setting in the east, sprinkled between the mountains and rivers in the backyard of the yamen.

The non-stop mechanism makes the water column soar into the sky and the water droplets splash.

As soon as the light of the cloudy day shines, the water droplets shine brilliantly with colorful light.

In the cool and gloomy wind, the relieved Chenghuang Tanuki Tianyun, after pondering in the wind for a while, opened his mouth and told the judge: "The reason and everything about this matter should not be known to my cousin Tanuki Tian. He's a ghost who kills his relatives with righteousness and doesn't show mercy. ”。

The judge nodded and mumbled.

Although Tanuki Tianying is the cousin of Tiantong City Chenghuang, he has never favored Tanuki Tianyun, and even killed his relatives in righteousness.

A few years ago, didn't Tanuki Tian kill his relatives in righteousness and give the city defense map to Xiao Shizhu?

Therefore, Tanuki Tianyun would never dare to let his cousin know about these things he did secretly.

However, Tanuki Tianying is the supreme military governor of Danshui County, and Tiantong City is in Danshui County, which is the station and jurisdiction of Tanuki Tianying, so Tanuki Tianyun has to be careful and careful.

lest there be any rumors that will reach the ears of Tanuki Tianying, and it will be an extraneous branch.

"What about the little female ghost named Liuyun?" Immediately afterward, the city god civet Tianyun asked again.

"My cronies are secretly following her, but she is still with that Su Gongzi, so it's not good to do it now. The judge on the side frowned slightly, and returned: "Wait patiently for the time being." ”。

They can not move Xiao Shizhu, and they dare not touch Xiao Shizhu, just because they believe that Xiao Shizhu should be an inspection official secretly sent by the imperial court, but Liuyun, who has no power and power, can be moved, and must die.

The reason for everything today is because of Liuyun, and Chenghuang doesn't want to let go of this little ghost.

For Liuyun, Chenghuang also wants her to disappear, and she will never be seen again.

If Liuyun doesn't die, the Chenghuang will be angry.

He needs to vent his anger, and Ruyun is the best target.

"Tell those Haoqiang disciples to do it when this Su Gongzi leaves. Chenghuang Tianyun made up his mind that Liuyun must die, so he said coldly to the judge: "Do it clean, don't leave any clues." ”。

With that, the city god raccoon Tianyun turned around, left the backyard pavilion, and walked slowly towards the back hall among the grass and trees......

During the rainy season in Tung Ying Chau, the torrential rain is endless.

The dark clouds in the sky make the bright and brilliant cloudy light so rare in this season.

The wind and rain continued to fall, hitting Dushuo Mountain, but the broad canopy of the large peach tree on the top of the mountain blocked a lot of rain.

The mountains are dark and damp. In the gloomy wind, the ghost fog slowly rose, and the fog was misty.

On such a foggy day, the garrison in the mountains will be on higher alert, and today is no exception.

In the fortifications in the mountains, guards were added. There are still many secret sentinels added to the mist between the grass and trees, and they are hiding in the dark to guard the surroundings.

In the mist, the mountains still smell of death and danger.

The plague is still there, and there are people in the Nine Shadows Army here who are unfortunately infected every day. Every day, there are sick sergeants who unfortunately pass away.

Even if there is medicine, the plague is menacing, and the speed of treatment is far from keeping up with the speed of infection.

The only solution to this natural or man-made disaster is to eradicate the plague from its source.

And the supreme military commander of the garrison here, King Yama, after getting Tu Gongjing's information, decided that he was no longer waiting for the ghost doctor sent by the Yuque Palace to send reinforcements, and had already organized a team of ghost doctors to prepare to detect the source of the plague according to the location provided by Tu Gongjing.

Once the source of the disease was identified, King Yama was able to eradicate the plague. When the ghost doctors sent by the Yuque Palace traveled long distances with abundant medicines and came all the way, and then they treated all the sick soldiers, this disaster would be considered over.

At this moment, a square bronze tripod with a deep belly and thick pillar feet was erected in the courtyard of the military palace yamen on the top of the mountain.

The raging flames burned under the big ding, baking the bronze tripod.

The steaming dingzhong was boiling the ghost medicine decoction, and several ghosts in the mountains were putting pieces of face covering cloths into the medicinal soup, boiling for a long time, and then scooping them up and drying them.

After boiling these green medicinal decoctions, the face covering cloth is dried and then put on to cover the grimace. The ghost with this cloth will not be infected by the plague for a period of time, even if he is in the midst of the plague.

On the other side, several Dan furnaces were erected, and some ghosts put the ghost medicine into the furnace, baked and burned the outside of the Dan furnace with a blazing flame, and let the ghost medicine in the Dan furnace mix and refine into crimson pills.

These pills are also medicines that can avoid the infection of ghost diseases, and if you put them in your mouth and under your tongue, you can make the ghosts with the pills in your mouth not be invaded by the plague in a short time.

King Yama ordered people to do so many things, just to find out the source of the disease for the ghost doctor team he had assembled.

If the information provided by Tu Gongjing is correct, then the source of the disease is after all the plague that spreads everywhere. The king of Yama wanted to ensure that everyone he sent out would return alive and sound, so he was actively making all kinds of preparations.

After working for a long time, the demons extinguished the fire and stopped alchemy and boiling potions.

Some ghosts collected the residue of boiling and alchemy, took it out of the yamen, dug a pit in the dead corner of the houses in various parts of the mountain, and buried it in the soil.

These residues are no longer very effective, but they are somewhat useful, and this will prevent some of the plague from spreading in the soil.

When the medicinal effect is completely gone, the residue will not pollute the land, but let them be buried in the ground, and gradually be corrupted and absorbed by the land.

After getting ready together, the king of Yama summoned a group of his own soldiers and asked them to take the masked steps that had been boiling in the potion for a long time with ammunition in their mouths and the ghost doctors who had been waiting in the yamen for a long time.

King Yama asked them to protect the safety of the ghost doctors, and to escort them to the place where the source of the disease was checked and samples were taken, and then they were sent back safely.

After everything was ready, the group of ghost soldiers and the ghost doctors who had already carried the medicine box on their backs bid farewell to King Yama, and under the expectant gaze of the other party, they left the military yamen and headed down the mountain.

The mountain wind howls and can't disperse the mist in the mountains.

Raindrops fell one after another, making the mountain roads slowly wet and muddy.

This group of ghost doctors and ghost soldiers silently shuttled through the fog, striding along the mountain road towards the bottom of the mountain.

After walking for a long time, they finally came to the foot of the mountain.

The ghost doctor who took the lead and the other ghosts turned a corner and walked to a fort at the foot of the southern foot of the mountain, which appeared in front of the stone cave on the rock wall at the foot of the mountain.

This is a seemingly ordinary cave, the entrance of the cave is only about half a zhang wide, and the height is only seven or eight feet.

It's nothing more than an ordinary cave in the mountains, but the ghost soldiers of the Nine Shadows Kingdom guarding three small flags outside the cave gate.

Just because there is flowing water in this cave, the underground river passes through the cave and flows into the large and small natural pools in the cave, so since the Nine Shadows Kingdom occupied this place, this cave has been the source of water at the foot of the southern foot of Dushuo Mountain.

Sergeants stationed nearby often come here to fetch water.

Therefore, the entrance to the cave has always been heavily guarded to prevent villains with ulterior motives from sneaking in.

If someone throws some poison in the cave, and the nearby sergeant does not check it and comes down to get water to drink, it will be a big problem.

Even if it is not venom that is put into the water, but laxatives such as croton, it is unbearable for anyone who drinks such water.

Therefore, from the Northern Yin Dynasty to the Nine Shadows Kingdom, although Dushuo Mountain has changed hands, the king of Yama still arranged heavy troops to guard it again.

The group of ghosts who came down from the mountain had not yet approached the entrance of the cave when they were stopped by the guards guarding outside and questioned.

The ghost doctor at the head explained the reason, and showed the guards the warrant of King Yama, and the ghost soldiers guarding the place got out of the way and let them enter the cave.

The cave was deep and dark, and a group of ghosts took out the prepared centipede beads to light the path, and followed the twists and turns of the cave to the depths.

At the same time, they took out the refined pills, and each of them put a pill in their mouths and put it under their tongues.

Along the way, the chill in the cave followed. The sound of running water around me came from the bamboo pipes connected under the rock wall, bringing a slight echo.

Among those bamboo pipes, there is clear water brought up by a water wheel in a pool deep in the cave. It flowed down the bamboo pipe into a pool of stone bricks outside the cave, a few feet from the entrance of the cave.

The group of ghosts who entered the cave walked along the cave to the depths under the glow of the centipede beads, and after walking for a long time, they finally came to the end.

At the end of this is a wide cave hidden in the belly of the mountain, hundreds of zhang wide and about ten zhang high, which makes the eyes of the ghosts suddenly open up.

A deep river flows quietly through the ground, and the ground is covered with stalagmites and pillars, as well as stone curtains of various shapes.

In the middle of the cave, there are several circles of paddy fields of various sizes surrounded by naturally formed milky white rocks, crisscrossed between stone pillars and stalagmites. The water of the underground river is slowly gushing out from the bottom of the pool. The water wheel built on the edge of the pond slowly rotates, and the endless pool water is sent into the bamboo tube under the waterwheel and connected together, so that it flows slowly to the outside of the cave.

This is the end of the cave, and there is no way out. The only way out of the cave, apart from the way it came, was the large and small springs in the pools.

The big ones were no bigger than the middle finger of an adult soul, and the small ones were not much bigger than the eye of a needle, and they were sealed at the bottom of every paddy field.

It is said that it is a paddy field, and there is no grain planted in it, but it is not bare, and a lot of petrified stone lingzhi grows in the pond, either purple or purple red.

When it was petrified, it had been formed in the paddy field for thousands of years, and it had been standing in the water for thousands of years, and it had never been moving.

It is from these springs that the water of the underground river flows slowly.

According to the information provided by Tu Gongjing to the king of Yama, the carrion cut from the dead bodies of the sick ghosts and the dead corpses of malaria ghosts thrown by the Tu Shan clan were the source of the plague, but all the carrion from these corpses was thrown into the river upstream.

The rivers of this netherworld flow from east to west, so most of the carrion will follow the river and the water, and eventually come to the area east of Dongyingzhou, the lower reaches of the river. Most of them will enter the underground river under the belly of Dushuo Mountain, pollute the water source, and then infect the mountain garrison.

Therefore, the ghost doctors came here to take samples from the water source to check whether it was the source of the disease in the water.

The sergeants could not help, and as soon as they entered the cave, they scattered around the cave and acted as guards and guards.

And the ghost doctors also performed their own duties, without saying a word, after putting down the medicine box they were carrying, they took out the gloves sewn by Silk Lingluo from it.

These gloves are also things that have been cooked with elixirs for too long, and the medicinal power has been soaked into the gloves.

The ghost doctors wore gloves, and their hands would not be infected by the plague, even if they were in direct contact with the source of the plague.

It's just like the face covering on the face of the ghost doctors, the effect of the medicine is only for a period of time, and it cannot be effective permanently, so the ghost doctors must hurry up.

So they didn't delay any longer, and hurriedly took out the special porcelain bottles from the medicine box.

This kind of porcelain vase is no more than an inch long, slender and small, and it can't hold much. However, the original white bottle body was covered with a strange red talisman shaped like a flying dragon.

Dozens of tiny talismans are connected together, like a flying dragon around the bottle.

Even on the cork, there are countless sigils around it. Around every corner.

This is a unique talisman that has been researched by the ghost doctors in the Netherworld for thousands of years, which is used to seal the ghost disease poison and make it trapped in the container full of talismans and seals, and cannot be leaked.

It is generally used by ghost doctors from all over the world to study the antidote to the treatment of ghost diseases in the underworld.

The ghost doctors in this cave are planning to use these special porcelain bottles to draw water from the natural paddy fields in the cave.

Water is taken to take a sample and then test it. If there was really a plague in the water, then Tu Gongjing's information seemed to be accurate.

The next step is to use the ghost doctor thaumaturgy in the magic of gods and ghosts to purify the water source and prevent the spread of the plague from the source.

Several of the ghost doctors walked to the paddy fields in the cave with porcelain bottles in their hands and began to draw water, while the remaining three ghost doctors squatted down on the spot and took out a roll of silk books tied with red silk threads from the medicine box beside them.

They opened the knots, took the red threads, unfolded the rolled silk books, and spread them on the ground in front of them.

Through the soft light of the centipede beads, you can see the ink seal runes on the silk book, surrounding the middle of the silk book, and the gossip yin and yang fish runes around.

The three ghost doctors gathered around the silk book, pinched out a spell with both hands, and whispered a mantra.

The sound echoed, from the bottom, echoing in the cavern.

On the silk book, the talisman seals surrounded by gossip and yin-yang fish gradually lit up with the sound of this low chanting incantation, and there was a blood-colored light.

It's weird, and it's so dazzling, it's like blood.

The other ghost doctors who fetched water covered most of the porcelain bottles that were already filled with clear water with corks covered with talismans. A ghost doctor has already walked to the red-glowing silk book with a porcelain vase in his hand.

The ghost doctors gathered around the silk book continued to chant incantations in a low voice, and the ghost doctor holding the porcelain bottle had already squatted down beside them.

The ghost doctor stared at the gossip and the yin-yang fish between the blood light on the silk book, took a deep breath, stretched out his hand, and tilted the porcelain bottle in his hand slightly.

In the sloping mouth of the bottle, water pours down. It fell impartially on the silk book, in the middle of the gossip and the yin and yang fish pattern.

The water droplets fell on the pattern on the silk silk, and immediately quickly penetrated into the silk silk. On the silk silk, the gossip and the yin-yang fish pattern that had not changed color for a long time suddenly appeared from it.

The green light was dazzling, and for a while, the surrounding blood light was red and dim.

The three ghost doctors were still holding the spell in their hands, and they softly chanted a spell that made the scalp tingle like a thousand insects crawling.

In the blue light, sparks suddenly burst out on the silk silk soaked with water, ejecting again and again, splashing in all directions.

Immediately after, several ghost doctors around the silk silk frowned in unison, and when surprise appeared in their eyes, they only heard a bang coming from the middle of the silk silk, followed by green smoke and a flame that was angry out of thin air.

The ghost doctors immediately stared at the flames, and the muscles in the corners of their eyes twitched a few times one after another.
